A bit like '20 Questions'. This is a list of questions in French that pupils ask to guess the word someone is think of. The person thinking of a word is allowed to answer only 'oui' or 'non'.

Fill in the blank squares with relevant phrases from the lessons. Give each group of 4 a set of these cards. They put them in the middle, face down, and pick one up one-by-one and then place them back in the middle. They read what’s on the card. If it says ‘Tu triches’, they must make up a sentence without being obvious. Other players can say ‘Tu triches’ at any point in the game. If they’re right, the person cheating picks up all the cards from the middle and they start again. If someone says ‘Tu triches’ and the person they’re accusing is not cheating, then the accuser has to pick up all the cards. The winner is the first person to get rid of all their cards.

This activity is ideal for students to practise their speaking skills. Simply fill in the blank squares with a mini task to complete as they go around the board. Finally, fill in the topic area you would like them to talk about for a minute.

Place a picture in each square. Instead of saying “2 + 3 = 5”, say the picture in squares 2, 3 and 5 (e.g. “un chien plus une souris égalent un chat”). Make these sums as difficult or as easy as you like. If you’re going to do a more challenging sum, encourage the pupils to make notes (of the numbers, not the pictures – it’s quicker!).

There are 2 different boards in this PPT. The first has 6 correct answers, the second has 8. Simply change the text in the boxes to facts/correct statements or false statements. Students then guess by clicking on the ones they think are correct. A tick reveals if correct and a cross if incorrect.

Use the space on each slide to enter the words/phrases you want pupils to memorise whilst they’re fading automatically. They could then either write them out or translate them either during the fade or after. Each slide takes 10, 20 and 30 seconds to fade out.

Using the template on the slides, show one sentence at a time on the board. At the end, type in the three boxes three possible answers, but make them obscure. Pupils vote on the ending they want (A, B or C). They then race to translate the sentence on their mini boards.

The students' favourite game! This is the original version. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.

My students' favourite game! In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.

My students LOVE Donate or Steal and this is an alternative version. There are other Donate or Steal templates available. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score. Here, teams can choose to use one of their stars on the score for the opposite team. This can be used only on the opposite team’s total score, not the score they have just revealed. This has to be done straight after revealing the opposite team’s score. It can only be used once – click on the star to use it.

It's exactly that! A dominoes template for you to add vocab/images and then cut out for pupils to use.

Pupils work in pairs to produce a paragraph on any given topic. They take it in turns to roll the dice. The phrase corresponding to their number is the one they have to use. When they’ve completed it, they then learn it. Good practice for learning to learn! They must also check that the phrase makes sense. If it doesn’t (incorrect tense, etc.), they must roll again. It’s a good idea to print this off as well.

Dice activities are fabulous! Use this template to add your own vocab/images for your activities, or allow students to add their own. Full instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

Simply a template for a Diamond Nine activity!

Instructions on how to edit this PPT are on the first slide. There are 3 slides, each with curtains set to open to reveal any set of words or images you choose. The curtains then are timed to automatically close after 10, 20 and 30 seconds. Great for working on memory in particular.

Give a paper copy of the first slide to each pair of students. They must fill in each rectangle with a word from a certain topic/listening/reading text, etc. Each of the pair has a different coloured pen and takes it in turns to fill in a word. The other pair must check they understand the word before they can fill it in. When this is complete, choose one of the grids on the following slides to show… Reveal each score one at a time by simply clicking – they will reveal one by one in order. Pupils check their total score for the corresponding words. They have the score shown only if they wrote a word in the corresponding box. The player with the highest total for their words is the winner!

Quite simply, a list of letters (including accented ones) and their corresponding number, so you can do 'crack the code' activities in class.

The whole-class version of Connect 4. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

Pupils work in pairs to get 4 in a row by giving one aspect from the y axis and one from the x axis. They must also try to block the other pupil. For example, if you’ve used personal pronouns and infinitives, they have to give ‘je regarde’ to get the corresponding square. Class version also available.

Class dominoes is a great activity to keep the kids on their toes! Instructions are on the document. Simply enter the vocab you want the pupils to practise where indicated.
